6-pack, 2-4's or larger carb?
« on: May 12, 2012 - 04:37:34 PM »
Hey, guys
I was wondering, which will give me more bang for the buck?
6-pk
2-4's or 1000 plus cfm carb?
this car is a 72 cuda with a 440
gas mileage is not an issue, however dependability is!
Also which of these combinations are will be easily upgraded for use with a nitrous?
I am wishing to build a pro-street but it needs to have enough ass to not be a chrome don't get you home deal.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. :feedback:
Mark

A 950 performance carb would most likely give you the most bang for a buck, as you stated.  With 1 carb to tune, and it only being a 440, you will have plenty of fuel supply for your cubes. Now if you are wanting to add bling, that would be another topic

Bling ...6 packs, tunnel rams, fuel injection ( might give a dbl thumbs up and fuel economy)  It takes a certain skill level or large wallet to do those last 4 installs.

I agree with Al

I was thinking 6 pack for cool factor but you said the n word so that through them out.

Duel 4 but you said dependability....

You said bang for your buck Al said 950, you can over carb a motor pretty easy unless it's built up pretty good that 950 might be to much IMO.

Cool, Cheap, Dependable.  Pick two.
Yes I own a 1972 Dodge Challenger Convertible T/A S/E with a 440 Six Pak. Can it get any more wrong?
